Mičeska! I never expected that the first noun I learned in Croatia was the name of a cat. It's very nice to pet, turn over and over to sunbathe its belly.
The landlord in Split mentioned the Blue Cave, so I caught the last bus and signed up for an island-hopping speedboat tour. Mičeska was on the first island. There are only 600 residents on the small island, and some have moved to big cities for their children's education. It seems that school district housing is a problem in any country. However, it does not prevent the residents and tourists who stay from drinking early in the morning and partying every night.
The Blue Cave is a very small rock chamber. When the weather is good, the sunlight refracts from the cracks under the water, forming a fluorescent effect, and the small fish that are attracted to the light are roaming around. Although I only went in for ten minutes, the visual effect was really fairy. Our sailor girl said that there are monk sea lions lying in other caves, but I didn't see them that day.
Hvar Island is the one that stays longer and is easier to visit. There are two other spots where you can swim and snorkel for a short time. The foreigners on the boat took out their full gear and jumped into the 18- or 19-degree water. Okay, your health is good. Well, the Adriatic Sea is so blue and clear. And the speedboat is so bumpy.
